Thermal structure revealed by RSCM shows a drastic increase from top to bottom. The MCC was exhumed by two detachments through the brittle-ductile transition. Migmatites were dated to 15.7 ± 2 Ma by U-Th-Pb analysis on monazites. A large-scale high temperature zone is proposed for the central part of the Aegean.

Foliation over the whole island defines a 23 structural dome cored by high-grade to partially-molten rocks. Its exhumation was completed 24 by two top-to-the-N ductile extensional shear zones, operating in the ductile and then the 25 brittle fields, through a single extensional event coeval with progressive strain localization. Page 2 of 86 26 The thermal structure of the dome with regard to position of ductile shear zones was retrieved 27 using the Raman spectroscopy of carbonaceous material. Peak-metamorphic temperatures 28 range from 390 °C in the upper parts of the structure down to 625 °C in the core of the dome 29 in the vicinity of migmatites and S-type granite. Pioneer in situ U-Th-Pb analyses on monazite 30 performed on the leucosome parts of these rock yielded a 15.7 ± 0.2 Ma age. Ikaria Island 31 thus completes the series of Miocene migmatite-cored Metamorphic Core Complex in the 32 central part of the Aegean domain where a genuine high-temperature zone can be defined as 33 the central Aegean HT zone. There, the extreme stretching of the continental crust is 34 associated with dominantly top-to-the-N kinematics. 35 36 Keywords: Structural analysis; RSCM geothermometry; U-Th-Pb geochronology; 37 Metamorphic Core Complex; Ikaria; North Cycladic Detachment System. 38 39 40 1. Introduction 41 42 In the Mediterranean realm, the retreat of oceanic slabs triggered the initiation of back- 43 arc extension (i.e large-scale extension in the upper plate of a subduction zone), leading to the 44 collapse of previously thickened continental lithosphere (Le Pichon and Angelier, 1979; 45 Malinverno and Ryan, 1986; Dewey, 1988; Platt and Vissers, 1989; Royden, 1993; Jolivet 46 and Faccenna, 2000;Accepted Rosenbaum et al., 2002; Faccenna Manuscript et al., 2004; Jolivet et al., 2008). This 47 post-orogenic evolution (i.e. crustal thinning by extension-related normal faulting after an 48 episode of crustal thickening) resulted in the formation of series of extensional domains or 49 wide-rift systems (Lister et al., 1984; Buick, 1991; Corti et al., 2003) such as the Alboran Sea, 50 the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Pannonian Basin and the Aegean Sea. Lateral evolution from the Page 3 of 86 51 central parts of the extensional domains to the bounding non-collapsed orogenic segments 52 implies drastic lateral gradients of finite extension and suggests highly non-cylindrical 53 structures. In the Aegean Sea, along with the drastic decrease in topography and crustal 54 thickness, the main orogenic structures of the Hellenic belt are increasingly reworked by 55 extension from continental Greece to Naxos, in the center of the Aegean Sea. Extensional 56 structures related to back-arc crustal stretching evolve from essentially brittle steep and 57 shallow-dipping normal faults in continental Greece to shallow-dipping ductile shear zones in 58 the center of the Aegean domain (Jolivet and Patriat, 1999; Jolivet et al., 2010). Furthermore, 59 a straightforward correlation between the degree of non-coaxiality of the back-arc domain and 60 the amount of stretching of the continental crust is observed at the scale of the entire Aegean 61 domain (e.g. Augier et al., 2015). Marginal areas that connect to non-collapsed orogenic 62 segments display symmetrically arranged detachment systems. In the western parts of the 63 Aegean domain, both the West Cycladic Detachment System (WCDS) and the North Cycladic 64 Detachment System (NCDS) exhume a horst-shaped domain, where orogenic features are still 65 nicely preserved, depicting bivergent extension (e.g. Jolivet et al., 2010; Grasemann et al., 66 2012). Conversely, in the center of the Aegean domain, deformation remains highly 67 asymmetric from Mykonos in the north, all the way to Sikinos in the south (e.g. Gautier et al., 68 1993; Kumerics et al., 2005; Denèle et al., 2011; Augier et al., 2015). There, orogenic features 69 are particularly overprinted or even locally erased by the combined effects of intense top-to- 70 the-N shearing and partial-melting. Migmatite-cored Metamorphic Core Complexes (MCCs), 71 associated with AcceptedMiocene intrusions, roofed by major Manuscript top-to-the-N crustal-scale detachments, 72 are described on Naxos, in the center (e.g. Lister et al., 1984; Urai et al., 1990; Buick, 1991; 73 Gautier and Brun, 1994; Jolivet et al., 2004a; Vanderhaeghe, 2004) and Mykonos in the north 74 of the Aegean domain (Lecomte et al., 2010; Denèle et al., 2011). Concentrating a large part 75 of the total amount of stretching, recognition of MCCs therefore appears of prime importance. Page 4 of 86 76 Similarly, asymmetry of crustal thinning at the regional-scale is another key-question for 77 understanding back-arc extension dynamics. However, the current understanding of back-arc 78 dynamics in the Aegean domain is hindered by the severe lack of knowledge for the bulk of 79 its eastern part. 80 One of the largest Aegean islands, displaying the largest intrusion of the Aegean Sea, 81 located between the northern Cyclades and western Turkey, Ikaria Island has been the focus 82 of several recent studies. However, the first order structural architecture of this island remains 83 conflicting and the existing geological maps of Ikaria present marked discrepancies. Besides, 84 the current knowledge of the metamorphic record and particularly the thermal structure of 85 Ikaria remain fragmentary. These problems were reconsidered after an extensive field survey, 86 including primarily new geological mapping and structural analysis. The position and 87 importance of the various tectonic contacts as well as the bulk thermal architecture of the 88 island were further constrained using the geothermometry approach of Raman Spectrometry 89 of Carbonaceous Material (RSCM). Following their recent discovery, the migmatites 90 described in the core of the structure were dated by U-Th-Pb LA-ICPMS analyses on 91 monazite.

There are numerous definitions of Islamophobia which are influenced by different theoretical approaches. The Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research, which annualy publish European Islamophobia Report, uses the working definition of Islamophobia that theorizes Islamophobia as anti-Muslim racism. The Foundation notes that Islamophobia is about a dominant group of people aiming at seizing, stabilizing and widening their power by means of defining a scapegoat – real or invented – and excluding this scapegoat from the resources/rights/definition of a constructed ‘we’.

INTRODUCTION Ikaria, located in the eastern part of the Aegean Sea, belongs to the Asiatic Greek islands. It constitutes one of the important elements of the disrupted landbridge join­ ing Anatolia and the Balkan Peninsula, stretching from Samos in the east through the Cyklades (Mikonis, Tinos, Andros) to Evvoia in the west. The island is strongly elon­ gated, its maximum length in a straight line being about 30 km while the greatest width in the eastern part is only 9 km. Its area covers 255 km2 and coastal line has 102 km. Ikaria is of montane appearance. Its main mountain range - Oros Atheras, spreads out along the whole length of the island, having the highest peaks 1042 and 1027 m in the east, 981 m in the central part, and 1033 m in the west. Coasts are generally precipitous, rocky and stony.

    Riv. It. Paleonr. Strat. v.98 n.2 pp. 137-180 tav. 12-74 Settembre 1992 TRTASSIC STRATIGRAPHY IN THE ISLAND OF HYDRA (GREECE) LUCIA ANGIOLINI, LUCA DRAC.ONETTI, GIOVANNI MUTTONI6. ALDA NICORA Key-uords: Biostratigraphy, Foraminifers, Conodonts, Triassic, Hellenides. Riasssnto. La successione sedimentaria di età triassica, che affiora sull'isola di Hydra, è costituita alla base da pochi metri di quarzareniti (Formazione di Aghios Nikolaos, Scitico), che passano gradualmente verso I'alto ad un'unità carbonatica molto spessa e ben diversificata, suddivisa in un membro e rre litozone (Calcare di Eros, Scitico-Pelsonico inf.). Durante il Pelsonico la piattaforma del Calcare di Eros annega ed inizia la deposizione di una succes- sione pelagica di età Pelsonico-Triassico sup., costituitx da calcari nodulari (Calcare di Han Bulog) con rufiri verdi e da calcari con selce (Calcare di Adhami). Nella parte orientale dell'isola si sviluppa invece una spessa piattaforma carbonatica (Calcare di Pantokrator) di età Illirico-Triassico sup. La sovrasranre successione pelagica, di età giurassica, segna il definitivo annegamento delle piattaforme triassiche e l'instaurarsi di con- dizioni bacinali. La successione triassica di Hydra rappresenta quindi una tipica successione di margine conti- nentale passivo e suggerisce l'appartenenza di Hydra al dominio Subpelagoniano, nell'accezione.di margine passivo occidentale della microplacca Pelagoniana. Ahtract. The Triassic sedimentary succession, cropping our in rhe island of Hydra, starts with a few metres of quartzarenites (Aghios Nikolaos Fm., Scythian) vertically making transition ro a rhick carbonate unit (Eros Lmst., Spathian-Pelsonian) subdivided into three lithozones and one member.

  • Rare Indigenous Sheep Breeds of Greece Kominakis, A
    Rare indigenous sheep breeds of Greece Kominakis, A. and E. Rogdakis Department of Animal Breeding & Husbandry, Agricultural University of Athens (AUA), Iera Odos 75, 11855, Athens, Greece, tel. +30-2105294403, fax +30-2105294442, e-mail: [email protected] Of the 6400 documented farm animal breeds, about one third is threatened by extinction (Scherf, 2000). Unlike in general biology, the focus in farm animal biodiversity is not on species, but on breeds within species. While species are clearly defined, breeds are not. Some definitions are based on arguments from population genetics while others also include sociological and cultural considerations. An exhaustive survey, lasted over 3 years, was undertaken by the Department of Animal Breeding & Husbandry of AUA, in an attempt to identify and describe the rare indigenous sheep breeds of Greece. According to this study, there were totally 17 sheep breeds identified. In terms of census population size, the status of these indigenous sheep populations could be characterized as critical i.e. close to extinction (N<300), endangered (300<N<1000), vulnerable (N=1,000-5,000) or insecure (N=5,000- 10,000) (Bodo, 1989, modified). It should be, however, noted that these are general guidelines; knowledge of the effective population size (Ne) is more important because it is directly associated with the genetic variation of a population. In breeding populations, Ne can be dramatically smaller than the census one because it is strongly affected by the ratio of males to females, selection and non random mating. The major morphological and (re)production characteristics of the 17 rare sheep breeds are presented in Table 1.

MIRKOU (With 7 textfigures) Manuscript received on 17th of March 1980 Zusammenfassung Auf der Insel Paros bildet die Molasse die höchste Formation der Marmara-Decke. Diese ist ein Teil der regionalen Kykladen-Decke und umfaßt alle vorobermiozänen, nichtmetamorphen Gesteine des Gebietes. Das Alter der Molasse und ihrer Transgression auf den Ophiolithen wurde mit Foraminiferen und kalkigem Nannoplankton als Burdiga- lien bestimmt. Daraus ergibt sich eine Platznahme der Kykladen-Decke in der Zeit nach dem Burgidalien und vor dem Messinien, da die frühesten autochthonen Sedimente auf Milos dieses Alter haben. Die Kykladen-Decke stammt wahrscheinlich aus einem Gebiet südlich der Kykladen, etwa aus dem jetzigen Kreta-Becken. Abstract The Molasse of Paros Island is the upper formation of Marmara nappe, which is part of the regional Cycladic nappe comprising all the pre-upper Miocene non-metamorphic rocks of the area. The age of the Molasse as well as of its transgression on the ophiolites was determined by foraminifera and calcareous nannoplankton as Burdigalian. Hence, the emplacement of the Cycladic nappe is of post-Burdigalian and of pre-Messinian age (from the age of the first autochthonous sediments of Milos).
